The huntsman's revenge

Drowning in another quart, Of that beastily tawny port, And other drinks of that sort, I still heard the Master's snort. You may recall how he did bray, After my crass, wanton display, Which left my crotch in disarray, Made, as it was, of papier mache. I tracked the Master to the Meet, Though my crotch is imcomplete, And his appeared to be replete, I would not yet concede defeat. I'm a huntsman strong and stout, 'Though troubled by God's gift of gout, I gave the Master a mighty clout, His jodphurs split, and what popped out? No more than a clay boy scout! What's that doing in your breeches? I cried over the Master's screeches, The shire now knows to the furthest reaches, He practices not what he preaches.

Brilliant. The Huntsman trilogy is now the most whimsical jape of this or any other season!

Doggerel but quite amusing doggerel. A bit tedious.
